The father-daughter dance is about you connecting, strengthening, bonding, learning about each other. So you need to continue to show up because she wants you. And guess what? She's going to show up for you on Saturday.
Angela Patton, film co-director and Founder of Date With Dad
Introduction
Hundreds of American federal prisons don't allow 'touch visits' — in-person meetings where families can connect physically as well as emotionally.
Incarcerated individuals have to pay extra to send loved ones photos or have video calls, and calls may be limited to just 15 minutes.
Withholding this kind of meaningful contact takes its toll on children with incarcerated parents.
Co-directed by Angela Patton and Natalie Rae, this poignant 2024 documentary follows several daughters and their incarcerated fathers, revealing their struggles, love, and paths to healing.
We also witness the in-prison rehabilitation process behind Date With Dad, a rare event that enables daughters and their incarcerated fathers to come together.
